Freedom finally beckons for Algie Packer, Essex’s most notorious gangster. He’s done seven years inside and now he’s coming home to collect his booty - £3,672,000 in untraceable notes. But there’s something Algie’s family have forgotten to mention... The Packers are Essex’s lovable, but most dysfunctional family. Lee Evans is hapless, dim-witted Darnley, the village idiot of the criminal underworld, and Sheila Hancock is Emmie, his mother - the family’s Rottweiler with a hairdo. Witness the Packers as they desperately attempt to cover their tracks before Algie arrives to collect what is rightfully his.
